node.js - Sailsjs policies -

i having trouble figuring out sails policies, follow tutorial still can't make work.

in policies.js file:

module.exports.policies = {   '*':true,   userscontroller:{     '*':false,     signin: 'skipauthenticated'   } } 

and in authenticated.js file:

module.exports = function skipauthenticated(req, res, ok){   console.log("testing");   if (req.session.authenticated){     console.log("testing");     return ok();   }   else {     return res.send("you not permitted perform action.", 403);   } } 

but policy not trigger. appreciated.

if take @ section entitled how protect controllers policies? describes policy name matches name of file in api/policies. problem actual policy name "authenticated" (you said authenticated.js) , policy name you're trying use in acl "skipauthenticated."

so can either change policy file name skipauthenticated.js or can change acl reflect actual policy name.

http://sailsjs.org/#!documentation/policies

you can apply 1 or more policies given controller or action. file in /policies folder (e.g. authenticated.js) referable in acl (config/policies.js) filename minus extension, (e.g. 'authenticated').
